[Fwd: Bad link in Apache docs]

[Rodent of Unusual Size <Ke...@Golux.Com>]

Acked.  The remark about a contact point on each page sounds
more than reasonable -- but we'd either have to deal with spam,
a Web form, or someone moderating all the crap that came through.
What would *really* rock would be an interactive annotation
feature such as PHP uses on their docs.. let people comment,
and every so often integrate the remarks and clear the annotation
list.

I have become very fond of Wiki over the last several months. It is easy
to install, and allows folks to add annotation to documents very simply.
See http://www.wikipedia.com/ for an excellent example of a wiki in
action.

Perhaps it's the name that is off-putting. When it comes to the
documentation, folks don't think of it as bugs. It's suggestions,
recoomendations, typos, whatever, but not really bugs.

Fixed.  (It was actually a botched internal link.  I forgot the "#".)

Your idea is great, but I don't think we have the infrastructure to
implement it.

I think the "recommended" way to comment on this stuff is via the bug
database.  I could perhaps put a note to that effect on the docs-project
page.
